I mean I believe that you are against the occupation but unfortunately this has been polled for years and the occupation is supported by at least half of Israelis, and some polls have that number higher. I live in a massive glass house as an American though, no one is a bigger occupying force than the US.

This is a lot like my ex wife. When I met her she was recently divorced and told me about how abusive he was, raped her, etc. I didn’t pick up on the narcissism because I honestly thought her ex husband was an abusive asshole. She tried to plan some insane things to get back at him and I just thought it was because he was so terrible and had gotten away with crimes. I felt she was justified. Fortunately I never got involved with any of her schemes. Fast forward to me divorcing her years later and she starts accusing me of things I never did. Crazy things, not just exaggerations. She also probably has a BPD diagnosis but won’t admit it. I’m glad to be divorced from her but I’m still a bit fucked up from it all.

For those unfamiliar with NJ, Paterson sucks, you really just should not go there. It and Camden are among the few blips of NJ (along with the oranges and parts of Newark) that are just straight up not safe to be in.

Hopefully this actually enacts some meaningful change there. Recently there have been some new/remodeling developments, so I think there is still hope for it.

Edit: removed vagueness

No, they’re saying the population is projected to top out at 8.6 billion, so the population growth rate must already be well off its peak.

If this graphic is to be believed, the global population growth rate hit its maximum somewhere around 1980-1990:

And speaking of discredited techniques, witness IDs are the least reliable method of identifying a suspect unless the suspect confessed to them and it’s marred by the trauma the witness is dealing with from the event. Cops manipulate witnesses all the time to arrive at the conclusion they are aiming for.
